these pigs must be packing heat

we all know that swine flu fever has spiked. it used to be in the past that the spring break kids would just bring back a sunburn or maybe an STD - a gift from mexico only to them. but, now they're sneezing, coughing and infecting the rest of us.

i don't think i'm particularly at risk for this virus so i'm rather uninterested in the coverage - except for two things ...

1) the department of health and human services sent out an alert today to all federal employees urging us to take precautions (sneeze into something, wash your hands), but did not say that we could have the day off; and

2) the us response to the swine flu is being coordinated ... not by hhs, the cdc, or the national institutes of health ... but by janet napolitano and the department of homeland security. HUH? are these swine also criminal drug dealers who are trying to illegally enter our homeland?

my advice - run if you see porky with a gun.
